You go to bed with tight shoulders, a clenched jaw or a stiff neck. Then you wake up feeling the same way. Sound familiar?

Sleep doesn't always let your body fully release the tension from the day. And when it happens often, it's easy to think it's just normal.

Where this tension comes from

It often builds without you noticing. Stress, long hours at a screen, a posture held too long or repeated movements all play a part. A little each day, and it adds up.

By bedtime, that tension is still there. And it can get in the way of your body truly letting go overnight.

What you might feel when you wake up

You might wake up with:

• A stiff neck or upper back
• Tight shoulders
• A heavy, achy feeling in your body
• Less mobility than usual

Why it keeps coming back

Treating tension when it shows up gives you relief in the moment. But it doesn't solve everything. You also need to understand why it settles in, and why it returns.

What osteopathy can do for you

In osteopathy, we assess the tension and mobility restrictions that may be adding to your discomfort. Then we work on restoring more mobility to the areas involved.
